For the rest of this year, you will be learning how to create your own website. You'll also do other projects in computer class and post them to your website. So let's get started!​How the Internet Works VideoLet's start by watching a video about what happens when you try and access a website. In this video, you can replace "someone in England" with someone at "Grymes Memorial School". So imagine you're accessing the World Science Festival website.

​Overview of Today's LessonSo when you want to access a website, you have to put a web address in. Every website has a unique web address, just like a house address. The address is also called a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) or domain name. Here are some that you might recognize: www.google.com, www.amazon.com, grymeslab.weebly.com,

Every website is made up of text, images, video, audio, and hyperlinks. Each website has look and feel - where the drop down menus are, how the header looks, where the logo is located, etc. Today we are going to use Weebly to start building our own website. You will learn how to:

access Weebly

login

start a website

give it a web address

pick a design

change the header
